K&B BNS Goes Digital with ValiCash™

Koenig & Bauer Banknote Solutions (K&B BNS) has launched an app that is described as bridging the gap between the physical and the digital. Known as ValiCash™, the app not only helps identify but actually authenticates high security documents as well by scanning the document and giving either a ‘Pass’ or a ‘Fail’ response almost instantaneously.

Some years ago, K&B BNS launched its ‘Sound of Intaglio’ authentication technology that used image processing to validate banknotes based on interrogating intaglio print. This technology was originally used for forensic intelligence and examinations but was also made available for banknote authentication at point of sale (PoS). K&B BNS continued to work on the technology and has now taken it further by enabling its use in an app on mobile devices.
